removing door panels
I have an 03 silverado, I had some speakers put in to replace the stock. But my warranty expired on the installation and I bought an amp for the speakers. But now, how in the hell do I remove the panels? I removed many before on older models I tried using my panel remover tool but seems like I can not find any clips. So I took the screws out 1. by the door handle, and 2nd. on the underside of door panel that goes into the cubbie hole .

Don't pry on it. Basically you need to take out the screw that is visible by the door handle, remove the door lock/window switches by just pulling up on the entire assembly and unplug everything, remove the screw behind there, remove the plastic trangular shaped panel that is directly behind the side view mirrors by pulling straight out, remove the plastic trim around the door handle by pulling straight out, and then take a hold of the grab handle and pull straight up. Before you go walking away with the panel you will need to unplug the tweeter and the light that is on the bottom of the door. Now it is free, free at last!

Watch out for window switch. 03 they put a bolt in the underside of the switch so it doesn't just pull up. Switch stays in the panel. You have to disconnect the connectors from the switch. It is easier to disconnect the connectors after the panel is loose from the door so you can spin the door panel to access.
